This year, YNPN Triangle NC’s professional development events are all based on our Competency Model. The Competency Model consists of four pillars that reflect the skills we’ve found through research that emerging nonprofit leaders need to be successful: Effective Communication, Personal Management, Leadership Development, and Technical Skills. Each quarter we will host a professional development event that hits each one of these competencies. This month’s event will focus on Effective Communication: Networking.

Tired of awkwardly transitioning out of conversations while at events? Want to learn how to follow-up with the large amount of business cards you receive? This is the event for you! We know networking can be an intimidating endeavor but it is crucial component for success in your career. Kick off your Friday morning with us at Happy + Hale in Durham to learn how to network effectively.  This will be an interactive, stress-free event with time to practice what you have learned. Coffee and tea will be provided and you will receive 10% off your breakfast meal. RSVP today!
